What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

I've said this before but your dirt is just ridiculous. I'm green with envy over that. I have to drill 12 holes for the new pole barn build and I'm dreading it. It's going to be a goat rope for sure!

I have always had high respect for those tractor operators that cut the sides of interstates and highway overpasses, some of those slopes are like 30*+ degrees of angle. Just incredible.

Yeah, I'm not doing that! The berms in this case are 45 degrees at least and I offered to cut a 5ft swath around the base if I could get close enough but there's too much going on to be safe at that property. The owner will have to get a weed eater on those berms if it really bothers him. Personally, I'd leave them alone.

The soil here is incredible for farming and landscaping. The downside is that the lack of real rock/bedrock is that our roads don't hold up very well.

I did come across 5 of these bad boys in the 8 holes I dug

I could tell that the back end was light with loaded tires and the phd with this in the bucket. Flat ground, slow and steady.

Whoa ... I bet you had to get a chain around that so that you could pull it out!

Actually, need to plant it. Picked up two Maple and a Lindon that size, a smaller Oak, Weeping Willow and two apple trees from a nursery. The bigger tree will be tomorrow's project.

Yup, not worth risking equipment over a few hundred bucks.

Took Harold (The Laundry Fairy's, grandfathers 40+ year old L305DT tractor that I bought to keep in family) out. Shredded the sides of our road from the highway to the farm and then took it 11ft under water (imaginary water in our dry stock tank) and mowed 4ft tall weeds.

Still cleaning up storm damage from this springs 2' of snow and a week of no power.
No grapple here, just pallet forks spread wide and lots of hands on. Moved several pliles like this today. Cutting over the stone wall in a wet spot of course I slipped and down I went. Tylenol tonight for the shoulder.
And I still love my homemade step !!!

Liked for the 40 year old content. Hope you get some rain soon.

Trimmed limbs from the front of the house with my two other orange tools and carried them down to the burn pile with the big orange tool—8 buckets worth, heaped up where couldn’t see in front of the tractor. Had been awhile, lots to trim up.
Best wheelbarrow known to mankind, an orange one with hydraulics…

Need to bush hog badly out at the property but got another inch of rain here in NWA again last night.

I was referring to the rock!

Bush hogged a customer’s 2 acres this afternoon.

I have to ask for absolution for a deadly sin. I bought a Cat 1 carry all frame from TSC today. The sin. It's black and not Kubota orange. I know this is a serious breach of protocol and that I may be banned from the forum for this. I beg forgiveness but the price was right.

Spent a few hours trying to find bushings for my Cat2 3pt. My TSC stores were out of stock on the top link 1 inch to 3/4 reducer. Resigned myself to waiting for the dealer to open on Monday.

Got back to the machine and accidentally dropped my keys in the cab "toolkit" pocket. Fished them out and found a bag of bushings that dealer had apparently placed there. The 1 inch to 3/4 was sitting in the bag the whole time. Not a very productive day.

Spent a little over 2 hours hooking up a 6' Howse landscape rake to the BX and then went out to the backyard and started raking the stones out of the dirt. Seems like the more I raked the more large rocks popped up. Then I took it off to the side yard where I store all the old iron. I had it listed for sale for $850 on Marketplace and was getting 4 & 5 hundred dollar offers. This rake is about 20 years old, has a wheel kit on it, and is very heavy steel. Now I remember why I sold my other Landpride landscape rake because it isn't quick hitch ready and neither is the Howse. I bought a used quick hitch-ready Landpride with wheels and will be finishing up with that one. I need to get some topsoil down on the rear "lawn" and plant some grass. I have been thinking that with the high cost of grass seed, sod might be the better choice.
I can barely move enough to go upstairs and take a shower, that is how tired I am. I can clearly remember 40 years ago when I did the same work with a 20 HP Bolens loader tractor. Seems as if it were a lot easier that time.

When the county cut in this sewer line along the north side of our creek about 20 years ago (eminent domain is such a lovely concept) they put a silt fence using T posts on the downslope side. The cloth part is long gone but the T posts remain. Wife had wanted them gone for years. I sort of agree most of them should go. Now that I’m retired, figured I should get to work on it, but it’s been too wet to do it without tearing up the ground until the past few days.

Pulled about 100 yesterday afternoon by myself. Adult son helped today and we got around 100 more in an hour and a half or so this afternoon. About half done now, but have all of them out of the areas where there’s a reasonable possibility of someone accidentally running the Mule or tractor into one of them.

The little T post puller plate thing isn’t exactly a miracle gadget, but it does beat wrapping a chain if you’re pulling hundreds of posts. We originally got it for pulling about 500 T posts and associated silt fence at our church a few years ago.

At least it ain’t green.
